Blown Head Gasket? - Power Adder - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I think I finally did it. I was out playing with the nitrous and timing issues on Monday. Well, I started smelling anti-freeze yesterday on the way home. This morning I cranked up and the 91Z had a lot of condensation coming out the tail pipe. I think I blew the head gasket on the passenger side. Steam was coming off passenger side header. Does this sound right for a blown head gasket? Thanks, BranZ

white smoke from the exhaust, coolant in the oil, and a total loss of power are symptoms of a blown head gasket

could have but, I would check out some hoses and lines since most of them go right over that area

Check for exhaust gas in the coolant, you can get some cheap strips at a parts store or there is a bigger deal that some shops have that looks like a turkey baster. Those things will usually show a problem that is even too small to have any other symptoms
